Tourist Attractions in Bayawan
Located at the southwest coast line of Negros Oriental, Bayawan City is a hidden gem for nature-lovers. Just behind the city limits a mountainous countryside invites visitors to explore the tropical flora and fauna. The over six kilometer long seaside boulevard is the longest of its kind in the Philippines.
Some may miss the hotels and resorts on the long stretch of beach, however, it is exactly the lack of these, which makes it charming. Here is the spot where the real life can be experienced. It is fascinating to watch the fishermen in the morning bringing their catch of the day in, maintaining their nets and boats and keeping themselves busy with their daily routine. In the evening one can experience a postcard sunset before heading to one of the local restaurants and eateries for dinner.
